SOI Staff Pick
“Is nature queer? Non-binary bat researcher Estravan (they/them) explores nature, biology, and sexuality in the natural world through the study of queer ecology. They challenge us to consider how hetero/cis normativities, such as gender binaries and natural and unnatural behaviours, have shaped our perspectives of nature.”
Alumni Making Waves
“In this light-hearted, informative series, Olympian and activist Mark Tewksbury looks at LGBTQ+ themes and answers questions that sometimes even members of the LGBTQ+ community don’t know the answer to.”
